In a nutshell
Dude....there is nothing here!
Corn mill De Zwaluw - What it means to Sam?
Jerelis Says: Once you're on the scaffolding you're more than 10 meters high. We learned that whenever the 4 sails make one revolution, the stones that crush the corn make six revolutions. The stones are 1500 kg and have a diameter of 1,40 meter. These days the sacks of corn are delivered...
Het Kruis - Huis met de Duivengaten
Jerelis Says: The history of the city of Hoogeveen starts in 1535. In that particular year Reinold van Burmania and his wife bought the so called Meppense Venen. In 1625 Roelof van Echten switch an area as large as 2000 morgen (a "morgen" is an old measurement system and is almost as...
Cornmill De Zwaluw - Very interesting history.
Jerelis Says: Ever since 1835 the mill has had several different owners, the millers. The most interesting part probably was when Cornelis Thomas was the miller. This started in 1907 and by that time the city of Hoogeveen had a lot of canals and ditches. The transportation of the corn was...
Corn mill De Zwaluw - A so called Stellingmolen.
Jerelis Says: According to old documents there should have been a mill at this particular spot ever since 1715. The weird thing is that on the west side of the current mill a stone is placed with the year 1787 in it. So therefore we can day for sure that this corn mill (a so called 8-K...

Eetcafé De Beurs.: A household name across Hoogeveen.
Jerelis Says: In a walking distance from the famous cinema Luxor, you will find steakhouse De Beurs. As a medium budget restaurant De Beurs strives for affordable quality that money can pay. Additionally, being located in the city centre and therefore walking distance from the "places to...
Het huis met de Duivengaten: Excellent French kitchen!
Jerelis Says: Right at the city centre you'll find the restaurant Het huis met de Duivengaten. It has a very tastefull arrangement and offers about 40 seats for guests. The restaurant is situated in the oldest premises of Hoogeveen, about 300 years old. In 1972 the entire building has...

De Herberg: Every 6 to 8 weeks a surprise
Jerelis Says: This great restaurant is located at a very beautiful spot. Just outside the city in the woods called Spaarbankbos. Just because of this you'll find some peace and quite that you're looking for whenever you want to escape the stress of the city. Coziness, nice food and...
De Vliegenier: Great spot to relax.
Jerelis Says: Usually eating at an airport means food courts, candy bars and maybe a sorry piece of last minute fruit. So the general idea at an airport is that it's what everyone loves to hate - the half stale bread roll wrapped in meters of plastic, stuffed with yesterday's ham and...
Jerelis Says: De Tamboer is a new (1997) and modern multi-faceted cultural centre for the stage, concerts, cabaret, exhibitions, creative courses and meetings & congresses. The architect of the project is the famous "theatre architect" Onno Greiner. Greiner was the architect of the "old"...
De Tamboer: Theatre experience!
Jerelis Says: The word theatre derives from the Ancient Greek theatron, meaning "the seeing place". The earliest recorded theatrical event dates back to 2000 BC with the passion plays of Ancient Egypt. This story of the god Osiris was performed annually at festivals throughout the...

Israelitish Cementery - The vicarage
Jerelis Says: It's maybe a bit morbide to realise that even under the current road (Van Echtenstraat) there are still graves. They were never removed before the construction of the street in 1926. The only objects that reminds of the old Jewish cementary are the 2 visible tombstones and...
Israelitish Cementery - About 210 graves!
Jerelis Says: The Jews were also buried at the cementery of the Grote Kerk, before buying their own piece of land to bury their dead. This cementary ground used to be part of the Grote Kerk. At the north side of this church, murderes, thiefs and other scum were burried. At the western...
Jerelis Says: The players are going to play with pieces of glass since Hoogeveen has a famous glass museum and October is in Hoogeveen the month of glass. The chess pieces are made by the glass artist Cees van Olst who especially for this event created an official Staunton no. 5 model out...
Jerelis Says: Since 1997 there is a special chess tournament in the Netherlands. Every year in the holidayweek of October the Essent Chess Tournament will be played in the city of Hoogeveen. The 10th Essent Chess Tournament will take place from 20 to 28 october, 2006. World Champion GM...
Grolsch -> Just like home sweet home! :)
Jerelis Says: Let’s make no secret of it. We both like a nice cold glass of beer. Being at our travel pace is always a challenge to find a beer we like, which reflects our taste of having a beer. At Hoogeveen (and this probably counts for our entire home country) it was rather difficult....
